research In Silico Structural Prediction of Human Steroid 5α-Reductase Type II
Scientists found out the structure of a human enzyme linked to prostate cancer and hair loss, which could help in designing drugs.
research Structural Basis for the Catalysis and Inhibition of Human Steroid 5α-Reductase 2
The research gives new understanding on how human steroid 5α-reductases work and how drugs like finasteride inhibit them, which could help in creating new drugs.
research Effects on Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase Gene Expression of Thai Rice Bran Extracts and Molecular Dynamics Study on SRD5A2
Thai rice bran extracts, especially from Tubtim Chumphae rice, can significantly reduce the activity of hair loss genes, with x-tocopherol showing potential as an anti-hair loss product.

5 / 503 resultscommunity What About Phytosterol Alternatives - Rice Bran Oil - Natural DHT Blockers
The conversation discusses natural DHT blockers like rice bran oil, which may reduce 5α-reductase activity similarly to Minoxidil and Dutasteride. One user argues that finasteride is more reliable and effective than natural alternatives.
community Detailed 6 months update for FUE HT and 4 years of FIN-MIN journey
A 25-year-old who has been using minoxidil and finasteride for 4 years to treat hair loss, underwent a successful FUE hair transplant in Mumbai, India, in April 2023. The user reported positive results, including increased hair density and reduced frizziness, and plans to continue treatment for further growth.
community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
community Using Fin and Alfatradiol in conjunction?
User considers adding Alfatradiol to their topical finasteride treatment for hair loss. Others discuss Alfatradiol as a weak estrogen and 5α-reductase inhibitor used for pattern hair loss in men and women.
community Finasteride only reduces scalp DHT by ~40%. Why does it work?
How Finasteride and Dutasteride help reduce hair loss by reducing the amount of DHT in scalp areas, as well as discussing factors such as sensitivity to DHT, 5α-reductase expression in different parts of the hair follicle, and scalp tension.
